~ I DECLARE ~

Declaring out loud scripture, any prayers or positive promises of the Lord is crucial to not only your walk with the Lord but to living everyday life as a believer. What we face daily is a test that we must pass. God uses certain situations to help build our faith so that we can become stronger in Him. God designed us so that we will need him every moment of our days. All throughout scripture is proof of this. That is why studying God’s word helps us to communicate and understand who He is. When I declare and say out loud a promise, scripture or a good thing with my mouth each day I am storing much in eternity. Also, when I do this I please my Father. I show Him that I need him and trust in his promises for my life and of course the devil is having a hissy fit. When I am down with despair and full of no hope the devil is having a party as many of you know. We have got to start today! We have got to claim our identity in Christ and stand and not waver in good or bad. We were not made for any other way. When we do not do this we let our flesh win and we give God nothing to work with.

Do you not want to fulfill your true purpose here on this earth? Well, sisters you have got to stand and stop giving this enemy all the glory with your thoughts, decisions and or mouth. Let’s give the Lord something to work with today.

John 15:5 says that we are to abide in the Lord and he will abide in us. We will bear much fruit if we stay connected to him. Apart from the Lord, we are NOTHING! How encouraging is that verse?

Today, join in with me….I declare this: “I am a child of God. Something good will happen in and through me. God loves me and he would never leave me so I will not fear. I will think on thoughts that are of the Lord and serve others as if I am serving my Father”.

Will you let this declaration be your anthem today? Say this all day to yourself until fear, doubt, confusion or anything else negative leaves you.

In Christ,

Monique Smith

Prayer Starter:

Lord, you did not come down to this earth and die on the cross so that I could live a miserable life. You came to save me and give me a new life in you. Help me to use my mouth to declare your promises over my life. When I am down and in despair Holy Spirit convict me so that I can use the authority you have given me to speak victory. Jesus, thank you for your love, thank you that you are already working on my behalf. Thank you for new beginnings in you. Amen
